Chapter 766: The Difficulties of Being an Eldest Sister in the 90s (5)

In the original plot, the original owner's first reaction after hearing this was embarrassment.

She really couldn't do it. It was no longer a question of whether she tried hard or not, but the reality was right in front of her.

The original owner directly stated that he couldn’t do it.

They couldn't even come up with 800 yuan.

Gu Qianjin kept begging her, using both soft and hard tactics, and even shouted that he would not live if he could not marry Ma Lanying.

The original owner felt sorry for her younger brother, so she shamelessly went to her relatives to borrow money. Everyone felt sorry for her because marriage was a top priority in that era. People were simple and honest, and they also knew that based on the original owner's personality, she would not default on her debts, so they were able to borrow some money.

Including the savings, it’s only 1000 yuan.

In fact, for ordinary families, a dowry of one thousand yuan is not a small amount.

As for the house, furniture and appliances, the original owner really had no choice.

Because of this, the brother and sister had a big fight. Gu Qianjin didn't come back for several days and no one knew where he went.

When he came back, he was in high spirits and looked confident.

Gu Qianjin took the thousand yuan and said it was a betrothal gift, and that was it. Ma Lanying's parents relented.

The original owner then realized that Ma Lanying was pregnant before marriage, and she had to get married even if she didn’t want to!

In the 1990s, if Gu Qianjin had not given a dowry, the Ma family would probably have begged him to marry their daughter to him.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The Ma family not only married off their daughter, but also wanted her to suffer, so they gave her furniture, household appliances, and even a dowry of money.

This made Gu Qianjin very proud, and he felt that he was very capable.

However, after they got married, she did not work and relied on the original owner for support. Things got even worse after they had a child. If the original owner had not tightened her belt, how could she have starved to the point of malnutrition in the 1990s when the economy was booming?

But Gu Qianjin and Ma Lanying secretly bought a lot of delicious food.

Heartless stuff.

Gu Zhen smiled and said with embarrassment: "Qian Qian, don't you know what our family conditions are? Where can we get such a sum of money?"

For businessmen in the city, this is the standard for marriage. How can ordinary people do that?

"Is the Ma family deliberately making things difficult for us?"

Gu Qianjin knew it clearly, but what he valued was that Ma Lanying's family was rich. No matter how much he invested now, it was called an investment in the eyes of these businessmen!

"Sister, think of a way. You can get your money back in the future. Do you think I, your brother, would suffer a loss?"

Gu Zhen struggled for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I agree!"

Gu Qianjin jumped up instantly with excitement. He didn't expect Gu Zhen to agree so readily. He thought he would have to pester her for a while!

"Sister, you are really the best sister in the world!"

Gu Zhen laughed and hit him: "You are the hope of our Gu family. Marrying a wife is the top priority. How can I not agree?"

Gu Qianjin also felt the same way and straightened his back proudly.

But soon, Gu Qianjin calmed down: "Well, sister, where are you going to get the money?"

Gu Zhen whispered, "I'll borrow some money from my relatives, and then I'll do some odd jobs. If that doesn't work, I'll just sell blood!"

As he spoke, he carefully glanced at his sister Gu Manman's back and lowered his voice: "Your younger sister should also go out to work. She is young and has many ways to make money. Can't the three of us earn enough money for the bride price?"

Gu Qianjin thought so too. He was always thinking about letting his sister work and forgot that he had a younger sister who just turned eighteen.

It's annoying to see him hanging around at home doing nothing.

He also agreed: "Sister, you are right. At worst, marry her off. My little sister is pretty, so the betrothal gift must not be too little."

Gu Zhen felt a chill in his heart. Gu Qianjin was really a bad person to the core.

They have been like this since childhood and there is no way to change them. They are selfish, cold-hearted and ruthless. Sometimes, it is not necessarily because they have been indulged. For some people, no matter whether you care about them or not, their human nature will not change.

Gu Zhen didn't say anything, nor did he refute, as if he agreed.

The brother and sister were having a good time, but Gu Manman, who was eavesdropping on them, was unhappy. She didn't hear what happened later, but the first part was enough to make her angry.

Gu Manman stood up suddenly, her eyebrows were only half painted, she stared with her hands on her hips, "Sister, you are biased!"

I have always been partial to my second brother, there is no limit to it!

Gu Zhen reluctantly pulled her to sit down and coaxed her in a gentle voice: "Your second brother is getting married, which is the top priority of our family. How can I be partial to him? When you get married, I will also take care of it for you."

"How can it be the same? When a woman marries, it doesn't matter how much the dowry is. What good can I get?!"

Gu Manman was sulking. Eight thousand yuan, four major items, and a new house, why should they all be given to her second brother?

"I disagree!"

Gu Qianjin got angry and pushed her over: "It's your turn to disagree! You don't make the decision at home. I'm the son of the Gu family, so of course all the good things belong to me!"

Gu Manman was not one to tolerate anger, so she screamed and rushed over, hitting Gu Qianjin in the abdomen with her head.

It was common for the brother and sister to fight and bicker. Gu Zhen was not surprised. She shook her head and left, leaving them there tearing their hair and cursing at each other.

As soon as Gu Zhen arrived at the south bedroom, he saw Ma Lanying hurriedly returning from the window to sit on the sofa, looking as if trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Lan Ying," Gu Zhen went over and held her hand again, "Don't worry, I will agree to all the requests made by my uncle and aunt. You just have to wait to become the bride!"

Ma Lanying had just heard Gu Qianjin’s exaggerated laughter, so she was not too surprised now.

She was also complacent as if she had found a good in-law family.

Gu Qianjin is a handsome man with good speaking skills, but his parents-in-law are not filial to him. His elder sister-in-law is cowardly and honest, while his younger sister-in-law is pretentious. After she marries him, she will definitely be the head of the family.

Ma Lanying was very pleased with herself: "Sister, you better get ready quickly. My parents are waiting to see your sincerity!"

Gu Zhen just indulged them. No matter what the request was, she would just agree to it.

Whether it can be done or not is another matter.

Gu Zhen also sat on the sofa, chatting and laughing with Ma Lanying.

It was time to get off work and cook. The windows of the old house were open. Ma Lanying smelled the fragrance of other people's food and her stomach growled.

She smiled awkwardly and called Gu Qianjin over.

Gu Qianjin had just subdued his sister, and without caring whether Gu Manman was crying in grievance, he ran over to ask what was wrong.

"Are you hungry? You didn't eat much at noon." Ma Lanying blinked and signaled Gu Qianjin that it was time to have dinner.

Gu Qianjin slapped his head, forgetting everything because he was so busy. He complained to Gu Zhen, "Sister, why did you come back so late today? Didn't you buy any food? What are we going to eat? This is Lanying's first day eating at our house, we can't just make do with her."

Gu Zhen was eating melon seeds and watching a black-and-white TV series with great interest: "I've already eaten in the cafeteria, you guys can go out and eat, buy whatever you want."

Gu Qianjin frowned. Why did his sister eat alone today? She didn't even bring anything back from the cafeteria.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s better to eat out.

"Sister, give me some money. I've used all my money for business." Gu Qianjin stretched out his hand as a matter of course. It had become a habit.

Gu Zhen patted the melon seeds in her hand and pointed her chin towards the balcony: "I almost forgot. Come with me. I have something to tell you."
